Description:
High silicon cast iron anodes are also used in various marine structures such as underwater platforms, ships, and oil/gas rigs. Because these structures are constantly exposed to salt water and other corrosive elements, the anodes help protect them from damage caused by corrosion.
Advantage:
The high silicon content of the anodes means that they are more resistant to corrosion,
they can last for an extended period without the need for frequent maintenance or replacement.
Application:
1. Above ground storage tank bottoms
2. Reinforced concrete structures
3. Under ground storge tank
4. Fine sand environment
